Dr. McKim’s Account of the Great German Reformer’s Work and His Times. The initial lecture of the course under the auspices of the Columbian University was given in the university hall yesterday afternoon before a large and appreciative audience. Rey. Dr. Randolph H. McKim was the lecturer, and the subject of his discourse was “Luther and the Reformation.” Dr. McKim was introduced by Prof. Mon- tague. “It is not wise, it is not safe for a man to do anything against his conse! Bee “These words," said the speaker, the keynote of the Reformation, which was pre-eminently the rights of the individual conscience. They carry with them the vin- dication of the right of every man to claim direct access to God, who speaks to each by His spirit. They sweep away the claim of any priesthood to stand between a man and his God as the exclusive channel of communication. They sound the death knell ef priestceraft «nd proclaim glad tid- ings of liberty to the enslaved conscience. ‘The story of Luther and the Reforma- tion,” continued the speaker, “was written by St. Paul when he said: ‘God chose the foolish things of the world that He might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world that He might put to shame the things that are strong, and the base things of the world and the things that are despised did God choose; yea, and the things that are not hat he might bring to naught the things at are; that no flesh should glory before uuther belongs to no sect or denomina- tion of Christians, the speaker said, but to the Christendem itself—to no nationality, but to mankind. The work God sent him to do was not fer Europe or for Germany, much less for the Lutheran denomination, but for the world. The Man and the Time. Martin Luther, he said, was a man sent from God to- prepare the way of the Lord. He must be studied in connection with his age and as one manifestation of a move- ment greater than himself, The time was ripe for the coming of Luther when Luther came. Had he blown his trumpet in another age, he had not awakened the world, as he did. He was not the first re- former. He had his forerunners, who had made noble protest against the corruptions | of the church, but their efforts had been in vain. God had been silently preparing the way by various instruments for the work of reformation. The revival of letters, the rekindling of interest in classical study, the first’ movements of modern science, the general awakening of the mind of Europe after the sleep of@ages—all con- tributed, the speaker said, to prepare the world to listen to the voice which was about to issue from German Luther proclaimed that Christ, the son of righteousness, and not the church, is the center of our faith and hope, and that to Him alone ts due the allegiance of the soul. ‘The speaker referred to the divite com- mission of Luther, which, he said, certified that he was no eccentric genius pursuing an idea born in his own brain, but one whom God has called and commissioned do a work for Him. Luther, preperly spe. duct of his age, though his a proper soil for a growth s' was a distinct and a mighty force moving the age onward. It w yhatically the age of Luther. No one else of the time could have taken his place, so deepl: 5 personality impressed upon it, s aker, that it would be nearer the truth to say that the age was molded by Luther, than to say that Luther was the product of the age. The great strength of Luther lay in the depth and force, the vividness and reality of his reiigious experience, kindling and fusing all the great forces of his great nature. At twenty Lutl lecturing on philosophy at the University of Erfurth, when his mind became profoundly agitated by the inquiry: “What shall it profit a man it he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” He could get no answer to his inquiries. The gospel of grace and pardon unknown to him. He answered them himself and determined to enter a where, by prayer and fasting, he ‘This he did, being known as Brother Martin at the ‘Augustinean monastery. While here he chanced upon a Bible, and was surprised that, contrary to the church and her learn- ed doctors, this book of God teaches men to hope for salvation by faith, through grace, and not by works. It did not prescribe penance, but penitence, nor teach men to work out their own salvation, but to ac- cept the salvation wrought | by Christ. Slowly Luther reached the conclusion that “Eternal life is the gift of God bestowed out of His mi y.”. This chapter from the heart h of Luther throws a flood of light upon his life, upon his work, upon the Feformation itself, and makes it clear why he was able to speak so straight to the heart of his countrymen. Right here, alsa, was the : tion. It was the mighty effort of the human soul to recover the truth of salvation through Christ by faith. The Famous Theses. The speaker referred to another chapter in the lite of Luther—that which tells of i conflicts, his great battle with al power of the Chureh of Rome, th intrepid courage and unflag- ergy for thirty years. Ten years sd before Luther came into col- lision with the church. During that time he diligently taught at Wittenberg the doc- trine of forgiveness by the blood of Christ through faith. It was the shameful traffic was for cloister might fit himself for heaven. his exter the in indulgenc which precipitated breach with Rome. He denounced the traf- fie with voice and pen. He prepared nine- ty-five '§ against indulgence: and with his own hand nailed them against the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberz. Such an act, he said, was fraught with danger, and meant that the doer was pub- licly assailing the stability of the Catho- > Church, which claimed absolute s over the consciences of men. ‘Thus that the first it tof the drama of the ‘Then follow- in pulpit ed a period of e3 ker said, and press. The pope, es in his wrath and demands that Luther recant. He refuses, saying he must obey rather than man. In 152) Luther was communicated. His answer to the pope for this was speedily given, and building a funeral pyre he publicly burned the bull of excommunication before the holy cross at the east gate of Wittenberg. The burning of the papal bull illuminates a second great blessing, said the speaker, which we owe to the reformation, and especially to Lu- ther. This act of Luther's was a declara- tion of independence, he asserted, on be- half of the Christian people against the tyramnies and usurpation of the pope and of the chureh, and in principle an assertion n liberty against all ecclesias- tical usurpations whatsoever. What He Accomplished. The speaker then went on to relate how Luther was summoned before the Empe- ror Charles V, and boldly refused to re- cant, saying: “Until I am better instructed | I cannot recant. It is not wise, it is not safe, for a man to do anything aj | his conscience. Here I stand. I cannot do otherw fod help me. Amen.” Here agai one of the aid the speaker, stands out great principles of the reforma- tion, of which Luther was the leader and embodiment. He stood for the majesty of truth before all earthly pomp and power, and for the supremacy of conscience above all political or church authority. Luther's trip back to Wittenberg was in- tingly sketched by the speaker; how s captured, and how in his cell in Wartburg castle he translated the the Bible into the German language, and by that act regenerated the German language. tr “Oh, Luther, hadst thou lived only for this—to give the Bible to thy countrymen in their own native tongue, in such vigor- ous and homely style that it speedily be- came a classic—thou hadst done a work for which posterity should ever honor thy name.” He found the Scriptures bound, said Dr. McKim, and he set them free, and successfully vindicated the right of the laity to search the Scriptures, and to ask and expect the aid of the spirit of all truth in understanding and interpreting them. He undermined the whole fabric of | priestcraft and popery and superstition, and at the same time laid the foundation on which civil afl ‘r&ligious liberty, free- dom of thought and-the rights of con- science have again been reared in modern times. tree Sess ALEXANDRI€ AFFAIRS. ete zu Matters of Locd? ¥nferest South of the DRiver.

To Ward Off the Grip Take Good Care of Yourself. NEW YORK, January 8.—The grip is once more giving New York doctors in- somnia. One physician, who has made a study of grip, said: “Yes, it is certainly back again, as many of my patients can certify, but it is not nearly so serious as it Was the first year it came. Doctors have decided that it is caused by a germ, but the germ is not yet identified. When I first heard of it I thought it was identical with the old in- fluenza, but I soon found out that though it was not a@ novel. disease in. urope it was entirely new as far as we are con- cerned. A ‘ he disease does not attack any par- tict portion ,of the body. Sometimes the distress is located in one place and sometimes in anpther, I am inclined to think that a patient.who has it for the first time has it,,woyse and that on suc- eeding occasions he;gets a much milder What is to rbp most feared from the grip is the after effects. he strength, Vitality an@ resisiing power are very much impaired by the disease and we .ind that frequently it is succeeded -by pneumonia, for instance. - 3 4 4. “The best preventive_of the grip is to take good gare af ong's self. I think the great- est importance” attaches to keeping the feet dry. A fambus pilysician once advised all his patients to take off their chest prg- tectors and wrap. them around their feet, and I believe he was right. Women wear painfully thin shoes and lay themselves open to the grip ‘or ‘pnetimonta more in that way than many other. They will have on hr with sole avy seaiskin sacques and shoes about the thickness of paper, and then spend hours trying to figure out how it is they have caught cold with their chests so well protected.” se TELLING ON EACH OTHER. Prisoners Suspected of the Denver Murders Talking. by: Victor Morchanain of Denver, aceused by Alphonso Lemair of being the strangler, has made a counter statement accusing Lemair of being the murderer of Lena Tapper, Marie Contassoit and Kiku Oyama. He says that he himself was innocent, but that be- fore Lena Tapper,the first woman murdered on the row, was strangled to death, Lemair pointed out her house to him, showing him a bottle of chloroform, and said he could kill the woman living there and get her money, The remarkable similarity in the statements of the two prisoners in cer features is rather startling. Since Friday morning Monchanain has been kept alone in a cell far from that of Lemair and he knew nothing of the story told by the lat- ter. ee DISAPPEARANCE OF LABOR LEADER Not Seen Since He Went to the New Orleans Convention. Peter Breen, district master workman of the Knights of Laber of Butte, Mont., who went to New Orleans in Novem- ber to attend the Knights of Labor cenvention, has not been heard from since his arri in New Orleans, and his friends in Butte feel certaia that he has mét with foul play. He had expected to be back early in December, and every effort has been made to ascertain his whereabouts. Breen, who was a violent man in debate, and belonged to the Powderly minority, is believed to have made fatal enemies at the cor ntion.

Only One Favorite Won. But one favorite landed the money at the Alexander Island track yesterday, the other winners being at more than comfortable figures. The going was of the softest kind, being deep in’ mud and as low as cold molasses. In the last race Bebolink beat Mask by the shortest of noses, and in a great drive. The winners were: Head- light, 6 to 1; Vagabond, 4 to 1; Forenzo, 8 to 1; Grampian, 10 to 1, and Bobolink, 9 to 10. The Washingtonian Easily Whipped. Joseph Gans, the champion colored light- weight of the south, last night at Baltimore defeated Samuel Allen, colored, of Wash- ington, @nd, without leaving the ring, de- feated Bud Brown, a colored middle-weight of Baltimore. Allen was only a punching bag for Gans, who, after faking all the fight out of Allen in the first round, toyed with him in the second and early in the third put him gently to sleep. Manager Stewart decided the affair no contest, as it was so one-sided. Then Brown, who was Allen's second, im- plored Gans to meet him in a ten-round go. Gans looked at his big adversary and quietly remarked: “Get ready and come on.” Two Important Matches.
